Im new to driving / owning a car I drove around 1.7 miles maybe around 20 minutes to and back from the destination I was going I was driving 15-30 mph. Is my car damaged or is my car going to be okay? (lever brake I'm assuming the parking brake)

If you hear no new noises from the wheels and the parking brake still works you're fine. Everyone has done this at one time or other.

Now I've done it. Just joined the "DOH!" club. Fortunately only a couple miles.

Did yours smell like rubber? My brother drove 20min in my car and it smelt like burning rubber Iām letting it cook down now
